Post From: Having Problem with IB Options Symbol

Hi S.C. Support,

I have difficulty pulling any option price from IB. I can view option price in TWS, however, I got errors and blank screen when I used the suggested symbol format to pull.

I even copied one of the sample option symbol from the SC instruction "QQQ-OPT-20141219-50-C-SMART-100-USD" and still had no luck.

Here is what shows in the log:

Message from IB: Historical Market Data Service error message:Historical data request pacing violation. IB Error Code: 162. Request ID: 38. | 2013-09-24 20:40:21

Could this be a common problem on IB/TWS side?

Thanks.
